I have a Time Share at the Royal and both my wife and myself enjoy the hotel and have had superb service over the six years we have been visiting. We do not skimp and eat out and in the Royal as well as going "al fresco" on our balcony. I have to say the meals are somewhat on the... more

We traded our Marriott time share for a week here and have generally been pleased. The room is spacious, with a separate living room area and efficiency kitchen. The pool area is as beautiful as the photos although the spa was not warm enough. Upkeep is generally good, although there are a few nicks, etc., that could benefit from repairs.... more

Spent week at this rather dull if clean and tidy resort. Staff tried hard except the night porter who was positively rude! Five star maybe for Madeira but don't expect five star British service and exclusivity. Turned over mainly to fractional ownership with the result that most stay in rooms to eat, drink, etc. Accordingly, public areas bereft of any... more

Beautiful resort and hotel had everything you could wish for! my 1 year old had a great time as rooms were so spacious so he could run around lots. Lovely spa area but gym is very small. obly about 4 exercise bikes and not much else Hubby used sauna and said it was great but i never went so cant... more

Just back from this hotel having spent xmas week there, and wanted to 'throw my oar in'; Yes, its a lttle flabby in terms of decor (especially the dark hallways), and I'm sure it has seen better days, but I can't remember the last time I stayed in a hotel where staff were so professional, polite and 'old school'. Most... more

My husband and I traded a Marriott one room week for a studio at the Royal Savoy. I was a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews, especially since we were coming all the way from the US and the cost of airfare and the dollar exchange was higher than costs for those who typically visit Madeira. Even with... more

We ate twice in the Hotel and both times the meal and staff were great.There are some wonderful eating places all around the Hotel and in Funchal.The weather was... more

Very nice and clean hotel, nice rooms. BUT....there is NO atmosphere here whatsoever. It is full of couples between the ages of 50 to 80. We were the only couple there under 30. Staff are pleasant enough, but no personality or any willingness to get to know you or be particularly friendly. Almost like they just can't be bothered. Drinks... more

We have a timeshare and exchanged our week in orlando for a week in The Royal Savoy Madeira. When we arrived the doorman took care of our luggage and later brought it up to our room. We went to check in (4 hours early!) and our room was ready within 30mins. The staff all spoke perfect English and were very... more
